Ohio man charged with breaking and entering after locking himself in Walgreens, calls 911 to be let out

An Ohio man was charged with breaking and entering after locking himself in a Walgreens.

According to a 21 WFMJ story, Boardman resident Aaron Jones called 911 around 6 a.m. on April 5 to let him out of a Youngstown-area Walgreens store that he had locked himself inside of.

Police told 21 WFMJ that Jones claimed he had fallen asleep in the bathroom of the store and slept there “until morning” when he called for help.

Upon arrival, officers asked when Jones didn’t call 911 sooner. He claimed he didn’t have a phone and used the store’s phone, but police noticed a cell phone tucked into his shorts.

Police also found several items that were taken from the store on his person, including a camera used by the store to take passport photos. Officers also found trash bags filled with what they estimated to be thousands of dollars worth of store merchandise in a back room.
